Tips/Tricks/Hacks
In order to transfer my phonebook I used Bluetooth and Motorola Phone Tools (MPT) software package. You will need latest fresh version of MPT 5 to do that. Good thing is that MPT just works right out of the box, without any setup needed.
MPT base functionality is to work with your contacts, calendar and make backups.
MPT also allows file transfer for your pictures, audio (MP3) and video files. So now I can use my phone as a player and camera.
For file transfers thru bluetooth you can use Windows supplied services. It works for any file types (audio, video, pictures). Just don't expect that your Java games will be visible in the phone itself. You can still transfer them if you desire so.
There is another, open source alternative for organizing contacts and calendar - BitPim. At the time I write this (january 2009) only beta version (1.0.7.20081215) worked partially with VE20.
Caution: you will need MicroUSB cable in order for BitPim and P2KCommander to work. Bluetooth won't do. I've seen multihead standard USB cable in the stores which supports standard, miniUSB A, miniUSB B and microUSB connectivity.
Search Motorola website for USB drivers. My USB drivers came with MPT. But they should be available for free somewhere. Motorola keeps changing their site, but here is URL: http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto..._Downloads.asp
When you connect USB cable to phone and your computer, make sure your phone is open, you will be presented with 3 modes on your phone, select "Data Modem".
After that launch BitPim and set it up. Here is screenshot with BitPim settings.

You can do some backup of your contacts, but that's about it. BitPim cannot read filesystem on this phone. Bummer.
So next I tried my proven Motorola Midlet Manager (MotoMidMan) tool to upload Java games into this J2ME phone. It didn't work out of the box. There is a faint hope that replacing "p2kapi2.dll" with the latest version might help.
In order to do fun stuff with Motorola phones there is a package called P2KCommander. I used v5.0.8. http://s5vi.vxxxstuff.com/commander/ - look for latest version

Here is screenshot with its settings. Now I'm able to see some innards of this VE20 beast. BREW directory doesn't give much hope. BREW considered unbreakable. BREW provides signature method for applications, so that they can work only on one phone, making the applications untransferable, unreusable etc.
